Recommended PSU for GTX970 (No overclocking)

[vLiiaaM]

So I'm thinking about purchasing a Nvidia GTX970 and I was wondering what wattage psu would be best?

I currently have a Cooler master 600w and have read that might possibly be enough, but wasn't sure?

My current pc specs are:
Intel i5 4570
Nvidia GTX 650Ti Boost
16gb DDR3 ram (2x8gb)
2tb HDD

Check out the TIER list. Tier 1, 2 or 3 would be good. Any of those over 550w. I'd shoot for 750w though.

Check out the Corsair HX series and the EVGA Supernova B2/G2 series.

I wouldn't trust a Cooler Master with any decent system.

Awesome help, thank you my friend! I never even new this existed! Think I'm going to keep it save and get a 750w.

And agreed, the Cooler Master psu was the only bit I kinda cheaped out on when building my pc.

I would replace that PSU sooner or later with the one of the suggest PSU's above.

No problem.

I recommend the EVGA SuperNova G2 750W over pretty much any 750W PSU. It is made by Super Flower, is fully modular and comes with a 10 year warranty (register it). It is one of the best PSU's on the market and is on sale right now.

Just checked it out and it's amazing value and seems like a great psu! Definitely a contender, Thanks again, much appreciated!
